In HARPOONEER, shoot and swing your way to the top of the mountain as fast as possible, while falling as little as possible!
Harpooneer
SteamIn Harpooneer, you swing your way to the top of the mountain using 2 Harpoon Guns, overcoming difficult environments and puzzles while constantly being at risk of losing massive progress if you should make even a small mistake and fall. Have fun shooting harpoons, reeling them in, and detaching and doing it all over again as many times as it takes to get to the top of the mountain!

This game is not for the faint of heart, so do not mistake it to be something to complete in an afternoon. This game is inspired by other popular "rage games", such as Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy, A Difficult Game About Climbing and Chained Together. I grew up getting mad (and over) such games, and wanted my foray into indie development to be a game that I myself would have wanted to play when I was younger.
